M:Hi,Diana.I'm surprised to see you on the city bus.Your car in the shop?

W:No.I've just been thinking a lot about the environment lately.So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transport when we could.

M:I'm sure you are right.The diesel bus isn't exactly pollution free.

W:True.They'll be running a lot cleaner soon.We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.

M:What could the city do?Install pollution filters in all their buses?

W:They could,but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency.Instead,they found a way to make their engines more efficient. M:How?

W:Well,there is a new insulator.And you spray a thick coat of it on the engine. M:An insulator?

W:Yeah.What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel.So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.

M:So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air.

W:And the bus will need less fuel.So with the saving on fuel cost,they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.

10.What justifies the installation of a new insulator in the buses according to Diana?

【A】【詳解】對于安裝新的絕熱器，女士說。它的作用在于它可以把燃料燃燒的熱量反射回來，這樣燃料燃燒時的溫度就會更高，燃燒也就更徹底。?？杉繞骺梢蘊岣呷忌章?，A正確。鑒于我們并不知道it指什么，聽錄音時，必須對有關事物予以重視。對話中，男士重復反問了一個詞?！盇n insulator?”。表明它是對話中討論的一個重點，問題it可能與它有關。緊接著女士的回答又用了?！盬hat it does is...”的強調結構，并用。So..，。說明結果相關內容及構成本題的答案。

11.What is the major concern of the woman?

【D】【詳解】對話中女士有車不開，寧愿擠公交，上環境工程課；對節能環保絕熱器感興趣，均表明她關注環境有濃厚的環保意識。故選D。實際上本題是問對話主題，選項D概括性最強，為答案。其余的均是細節或與對話無關。 Conversation Two

12.What was the first problem with the man's reservation?

【A】【詳解】曼上上在入住酒店時，遇到了一系列難題首先，他自報家門時，服務員把他和另一個同名同姓的人搞混淆了其次，他原訂的這一天的房間沒有了，第2天才有房間；第三，其他房間也都已訂滿，只有正在裝修中的臨時房。本題問他遇到的第1個問題，故選A.本對話前面開頭部分一直在說人名。聽到有關name,mistake,problem,have two guests under the name即可確定答案。

13.Why was it hard to get a room that day? 【C】【詳解】女士在解釋房子緊張的原因時說，。我想我們今晚是沒房子了。城里正在開一個會........conference convention之義，故C正確。A.C旬型一致，區別在conference和marathon(馬拉松長跑)上；B。幾乎所有酒店都在翻修。顯然不合常理D中的時間在對話中未提及。

14.What do we know about the rooms under renovation in the hotel?

Television now plays such an important part in so many people's lives that it is essential for us to try to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse.Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.But do the former outweigh the latter?In the first place,television is not only a convenient source of entertainment,but also a comparatively cheap one.They just sit comfortably at home and enjoy endless series of programs rather than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.Some people,however,maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies.The television viewer needs to do nothing.He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.Secondly,television keeps one informed about current events,allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics.Yet here again there is a danger.The television screen itself has a terrible,almost physical fascination for us.We get so

used to looking at its movements,so dependent on its pictures that it begins to dominate our lives.There are many other arguments for and against television.The poor quality of its program is often criticized.But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people.And does it corrupt or instruct our children?I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad.It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society. 16.What is NOT mentioned as the disadvantages of TV? 【A】【詳解】本文分析電視的利弊，它帶來益處的同時也有潛在的弊端。文章分別提到，觀看電視是被動接受的行為即B)，它使人產生依賴性(即C)，有些電視節目質量太差(即D)。未提到的弊端是A,故選A.此外，A?？吹縭踴岬賈屢ｇ跫膊?。的說法聞所未聞。這是對原文中almost physical fascination“幾乎有生理上的迷戀”。的曲解，換言之，有些選項可據常識加以判斷。

17.What is the speaker's opinion of television?

【D】【詳解】短文結尾處，作者在給出了正反觀點后，給出了中允的觀點\我想我們必須認識到，電視本身無月刊胃好壞。'即D正確。C太絕對，可以排除；A.B針鋒相對，D則不偏不倚。根據短文中作者的口吻，他是持中立態度的，應選D.本題可以。聽到什么選什么。 18.What determines the value of television to society?

【C】【詳解】文章最后說電視本身無所謂好壞，人們使用它的方式決定了它對社會的價值。C與此同義。A(電視機的價格).D(觀看電視的人數)與全文中心無關，可以排除；B在文中有所提及，是某個細節，屬于答非所問。 Passage Two

Beethoven probably began to go deaf in 1797,but he tried to keep it a secret,while consulting doctors and trying various remedies,such as the application of almond oil.He was extremely anxious about its possible effect on his career as a musician,and embarrassed by its effect on his social life.In the summer of 1801 he wrote to two friends expressing the anxietythat his best years would pass\my being able to achieve all that my talent and my strength have commanded me to do\my art.For indeed it seemed to me impossible to leave this world before I had produced all the works that I felt the urge to compose\development of his art:isolated from the world,and unable to perform,he could devote all his time to composing.In 1804 his friend Stephan von Breuning,with whom he briefly shared lodgings,wrote to Franz Wegler about the terrible effect his gradual loss of hearing was having on Beethoven:it had caused him to distrust his friends,and he was becoming very difficult to be with.But above all else,Beethoven was dedicated to his art and the urge to compose remained with him throughout his life.It may be that he shielded away from the commitment of marriage because he knew it would interfere with his art. 19.Why did Beethoven try to conceal his going deaf? 【D】【詳解】短文開頭就說貝多芬不愿透露自己耳聾的消息，并緊接著說明了原因“他極為擔心這個消息對他作為一位音樂家的事業可能帶來的影響，他也不知道該如何處理該消息對他的社交生活產生的影響?！盌(他對它的負面影響極為擔心)全面概括了相關內容，故正確。 20.What was the result from Beethoven's gradual loss of hearing in 1804? 【C】【詳解】短文中提到。1804年，貝多芬的朋友在信中說“失去聽力使他(貝多芬)不相信朋友，他變得非常難以相處”故C正確。由選項中共同的時間可知，本題問1804年發生在?！彼鄙砩系氖慮?。聽到”1804”即當留意選項中對應的關鍵詞。C為原詞再現。 21.What do we know about Beethoven in this passage?

【B】【詳解】短文最后說。情況可能是這樣因為他知道結婚會影響他的藝術創作，所以他逃避了婚姻的承諾。信之意是，貝多芬一輩子未婚，故B正確。四個選項主語都是He，但具體內容互不相干，須聽記所有相關信息并做出相應標記。 Passage Three

Over the years,new technologies have changed farming.Change in a general direction is a trend.Yet people often recognize trends only when they consider the past.Today,we look back at some trends in American agriculture.In 1920,America had more than 25 million horses and mules.Most were used for farm work.Around the same time,a competitor began to appear in large numbers.Tractors could turn soil,pull loads and speed harvests—and they could do it better.More tractors meant fewer horses and mules.By the 1960s,the numbers of these work animals settled to where they remain today.That is about one-tenth the levels in 1920.Yet even the demand for tractors had its limits.Their numbers have been slowly decreasing since 1982.Experts say farmers can do more with less now because of new technologies.As tractors replaced horses and mules,farmers no longer needed to raise crops to feed work animals.Oats have long been food for horses and mules.In 1954,American farmers planted over sixteen million hectares of oats.By 2000,that was down to less than one million hectares.So what did the farmers do with the extra land?More and more farmers began to plant a new crop around the same time that the tractor became popular.It was the soybean.The soybean is one of the oldest plants harvested.Yet it was not planted widely in the United States until the 1920s.By the year 2000,close to 30 million hectares were planted with soybeans.It is the nation's most important crop for high-protein animal feed and for vegetable oil.In fact,soybeans are the second most valuable crop grown by American farmers after corn.Much of the soybean production goes to exports.

22.In which year did tractors begin to appear in large numbers?

【A】【詳解】短文中提到，1920年，美國用于農業生產的馬、騾數量有2500多萬，。同時一個競爭者開始大量出現。拖拉機.............意即1920年拖拉機開始大量涌現，故A正確。 23.How many horses and mules did America have in the 1960s?

【D】【詳解】短文說，1920年，美國用于農業生產的馬、騾數量總共有2500多萬，此后一路減少，到20世紀60年代，數目趨于穩定，迄今沒有變化。目前約有1920年的1/10。由此可計算出，20世紀60年代美國用于農業生產的馬、騾牲口共250多萬，故D正確。 24.What is America's most important crop for high-protein animal feed and for vegetable oil? 【B】【詳解】短文提到，到2000年，近3000萬公頃土地種了大豆。。它是全國最重要的高蛋白動物飼料和植物油農作物。樸故B正確。昕短文答題時，要特別留意\語義強調之處。。本題。the nation's most important crop。顯然符合此語義特征。 25.What is the most valuable crop grown by American farmers?
